Stress Puppy 2

The stress puppy strikes again. If you think about all the three seperately and then put them together it's quite funny. Stress + puppy+ strikes.
Ya so let me showoff GTB has merged with OBC. After being served a moratorium ..... what a depressing word. Sounds like a morgue. Well it is in a way in a morgue now. The anchor got shouted at for churning out his own questions. It was loud and very loud.
I had a nice heart to heart with P. She is an absolute sweetheart and no she isn't your sugar coated full of shit person. But she's like one of us. Moody perhaps but nice. It felt like a real conversation after a long time.
I also got an e-mailf rom P S. I was shocked to know that he still remembered me. I fought with him over the issue of 'India Shining' back in college. Not only is he a developmental journalist, he is also a master performer. There is a way by which young minds can be moulded and it's easier when you have a bunch of young enthusiastic people whose minds are like sponge. Very absorbent. Its easy to say "look at that rich industrialist" and then " look at that beggar" and say there is so much disparity. Hell No! no disparity. One man has the oppurtunity the other doesn't. You might want to give him the chance to make his life better but is it fair to take something from someone who has earned all of that and just give it to someone who's needy or poor. That's neither fair nor practical .
PS also spoke about how in France old people died because it got very hot, the summer of 2001/02 and they did not have air conditioning. This is bizarre..... what about USSR which collapsed like a pack of cards. The land of Marx and Lenin.
And nobody is accomodating enough to let you thrive along with your ideology. If its a capitalistic society, the socialists will not be allowed to preach and vice versa.
So preach if you wish to but don't try and brain wash. Allow people to think for themselves because thats how minds evolve. Try looking at everything rationally. It takes the rich the poor, the have's the have not's, the needy, the not so needy, the healthy and the sick, the intelligent and the stupid....it takes all kinds to make this world.
Because rationality is the core, the very basic and the only tool that helps us think straight and helps us look at the larger picture. We are all at the end of the day animals...well not literally but more or less. We think about ourselves, our next meal, our kin, our territory first and there is no reason why we shouldn't. I wish people would acknowledge that first and then go on any other trip.
